Considerations of instinct may be another route to the moment. Acting in accord to instinct would leave the locus of control on the individual. That is, me. However, recent studies of data and human behaviour have proven that instinct is not always the smartest way of making decisions. What seems intuitively correct, is not always right. The example given is the Monte Hall conundrum. You have three doors to chose from. You choose one, then the host opens one of the other doors that does not have a prize hidden behind it. He then asks if you want to switch doors. Intuitively, you would think that it doesn't matter. You have a fifty/fifty chance either way. But, in fact, you increase your odds to 2/3s by switching.
Nevertheless, at the end of the day, all you have is your instinct. It simply needs to be checked for veracity. The question lies in how stringently they should be checked.
